Description

A rare opportunity to secure a well-located detached home on a large, flat 13,200+ square ft R-4 lot with excellent long-term upside. The existing home is in very livable condition and offers immediate flexibility, whether you are looking to move in, hold as an investment, or generate income from the two suites already in place with good tenants. Set in a popular and convenient Squamish neighbourhood, the property is an easy walk to schools, daycare, grocery stores, coffee shops, trails, parks, and recreation. It is close enough to downtown to enjoy the convenience, while still offering the space, privacy, and residential feel that buyers want in a detached home. For families, investors, or builders, this property offers a compelling combination: a comfortable home today, income potential from existing suites, and significant future value supported by R4 zoning and new legislation allowing for up to 4 units plus one legal suite. A smart holding property, redevelopment opportunity, or long term investment. (id:63159)

How this is calculated

Amenities: points awarded per category (restaurants, cafes, grocery, parks, shopping, gyms, pharmacies, banks/ATMs, healthcare) based on distance to the nearest one — 3 points under 200m, 2 points under 500m, 1 point under 800m — summed across all 9 categories and scaled to 0–100.

Transit: based on the number of transit stops within 800m and their mode (SkyTrain weighted highest, then streetcar/ferry, then bus). This reflects stop type and count only — our data doesn't include how often a route actually runs, so frequency is never factored in.

Both scores depend on how much of the surrounding area has been synced from OpenStreetMap and TransLink's GTFS feed. A lower score can mean fewer amenities nearby, or simply that this area hasn't been fully synced yet — not a confident measurement of the location itself.
